Wednesday Weigh In

Alright, so I am about 8-10kg over my ideal weight. I need to get my ever widening behind into gear and stop making excuses and being lazy otherwise before I know it the kilo's will just keep creeping on. I have no one to blame, no outragous reason for it other than the amount of excerise I do has rapidly decreased while my eating has stayed the same. Actually, the eating bit has probably gotten worse since having my third child because I'm time poor, unorganised, and tired most of the time. So the 'quick' foods are generally not too healthy, or too calorie dense. I feel so uncomfortable in my skin, I am always tired, lethargic, moody, and overall I just feel pratty damn blah. It is time to do something about this. I don't want to be 'skinny' or 'perfect' or anything like that, I just want to feel healthy. I'll always have slightly bigger boobs, a podgy tummy and big hips and thighs. That's just who I am, it's in my genes and there's nothing I can do about that. But I CAN change the amount of excess fat on my body if I want to, and my god do I want to!! I have to be consistant, and dedicated...which I am really good at......for about two days then I'm back to my old bad habits. I began this "health kick" yesterday and so far so good (how sad that it's only day two and I am suprised that I'm still going *sigh*). A small bowl of porridge with a handfull of blueberries with skim milk for breakfast, salada crackers with advacado/tomatoe/tuna for lunch and some kind of relativley healthy dinner. I even went as far as cutting up sticks of celery and carrot and stocking up the fridge with that for my snacks (teamed of course with hommus, low fat)...now I just need to remember to eat those instead of cutting myself a couple of pieces of fritz, eeeeek! Oh, and last night at 5pm I put the boy in the pram and went for an hour long walk along the esplanade. It was motivating to be out walking at that time of day, so many other people out doing the same thing and for a moment I can pretend I am one of those fit and healthy people.....striding along Brighton esplanade in their workout pants, tight singlets and caps.

So. I wasn't going to write down my current weight because it disgusts me (I know, strong word to use but it is true) but I may aswell be totally honest.
Current weight = 70.5 kgs (*gulp*) frickin scary to crack the 70's I tell you!!
Goal Weight = anywhere between 60-64 I'd feel comfortable at.
Will weigh in next Wednesday : )
